Funding

EIKE does not disclose its sources of funding. However, they insist that they are not funded via CFACT (which was in turn in part funded by Exxon at times), but get small to medium donations from private persons.

Activities

EIKE published a petition to Angela Merkel on 2009-JUL-26[4]. The letter denies a significant anthropogenic cause of global warming, and was, until December 2010, signed by about 400 people, ranging from engineers, meteorologists, geologists and chemists to forest officials, journalists, physicians and businessmen.

EIKE members often feature prominently on other climate contrarian events, for example:

2010-SEP-15: "Hat die Vermeidung von CO2 einen Einfluss auf das Klima?", organized by FDP's Paul Friedhoff within the bounds of the German parliamentary building - EIKE's Ewert was a speaker. CDU parliamentary group speaker on the environment Marie-Louise Dött also spoke there and later lauded Fred Singer's theses.
